Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5838 N Moody Ave in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood, owned by Mode Properties LLC, has been standing since 1923. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of four 311 service requests associated with this address, all of which have been resolved. The most recent incidents, occurring between August 29 and October 1, 2025, were all related to reports of abandoned vehicles near the property. The only service request unrelated to this pattern was a street light outage complaint filed in December 2025. The relatively low number of service requests over this period, especially considering the age of the building and its two-unit configuration, suggests stable property maintenance conditions, though it's worth noting that all documented service requests fall within a single pattern of street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 5838 N Moody Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
